I posted the link under a particular question, but thought I’d repeat it in a more general-interest way.

I ran across this great collection of photos from Davis-Monthan storage facility in the (mostly) 1966-68 period, posted by a gentleman named Neil Aird. Lots of gorgeous color shots of familiar and less-so aircraft to drool over.

The Davis-Monthan section is but part of a larger collection, assembled, as the author says, from a lifetime of plane-spotting. It’s well worth spending some time exploring, something there for nearly every aviation era fan.

Great pics. Thanks for posting!

Stunning pics there Greg, thanks for sharing those. But it is a shame to see all those aircraft like that knowing that most of them have since been scraped.

Do they have a time limit on how long an aircraft is kept there before it is scraped or sold.

All those poor, beautiful Connies and Beechcraft. :frowning:

Great Pics! Thanks for sharing. How I wish there’s a collection of photos like these of the Kingman, Arizona scrapyard.

When I was there, you could only tour the site by bus. I don’t know if you could walk it if you knew someone?
